WorldCat

WorldCat.org searches the catelogs of over 10,000 libraries. First, it finds the book or music and then you identify where you're at.  When searching for a book, if there are several titles, it will give you a list of authors and languages to narrow down your choices.  Very nice.

Still posting about search

Interesting that Google entered a $900MM relationship with myspace.  I think Murdock only paid $600MM for the site all together.

I see that Dhoondho was added to OpenSearch

OpenSearch:  Plugins for IE7 and Firefox recently saw Dhoondho added.  Their web site says  Labs Dhoondho : A Certified Web-2 Company, which must be one of those silly slogans with a twist of humor, since no two definitions of web 2.0 are the same.

Interesting how search is evolving on the internet

Although Google remains the dominant force, verticals are increasingly important.  What's a vertical?  Like Wikipedia, Indeed, travel sites, and so on.  Because they have context to know what you're looking for, they can deliver more accurate results.  Normal traffic analysis compares Google versus Yahoo and so on.  But it'd be interesting to see traffic of Google versus the verticals.

HubPages and Squido.com

HubPages and Squido.com are competitors.  I see that HubPages got added to Search Plugins.  I don't think Squido has been added.  I'm not sure if either of these interesting services has gained enough traction in the market to be viable.  Interesting business models, though.
